Hello, Shep14. I most definitely want to get to the bottom of this issue and resolve it. I am sorry you are seeing a strange area code from Mexico but the good news is, it won't have any effect on your account, cell phones or billing. Can you please provide us with a screen shot, so we can get a better idea of what is occurring? Please do not include any personal information or private cell numbers.

Re: Why is a group message received showing an unknown Mexico City area?

Auch996, I understand your concern about another number being in your group chat. The good news is there is nothing to fear. Message + will generate a random 588 number when in a group message with a user who does not use the Message + app. The message is not actually coming from a number in Mexico with a 588 area code. I hope this helps!
